Kids Triathlon competitors

Competitive fun and great weather combined to make the Kayak Races & Kids Triathlon a winner.  The events took place at the Clark Lake Yacht Club and were also sponsored by the Raft-O-Rama committee.

The first events of the day were the kayak races and the kids took to the course first.  They started from the Yacht Club docks, headed towards Eagle Point, rounded a buoy, and returned to the Yacht Club.
